No, it doesn't sound like you're a bad mother/wife...and NO, i have never heard of a hubby getting jealous over dogs, kids yes..How does your hubby feel abou the dog sleeping with you? That may be a problem..it was with my hubby, and yes, my hubby loves dogs, but, feels they make dog beds for a reason, and I do have to agree there..I love my dogs, but, when it's time for bed, both my husband and me together, get all 4 of them in to their beds, give them their belly rubs, cover them up, and tell them goodnight, then we got and get in our beds....and as far as traveling, I know where you're coming from, we've been married 31 years, and my husband has traveled for 24 of those years...I had 3 kids that I pretty much raised on my own..dogs are a lot of company when he's gone, but, even then, the dogs still sleep in their beds, and I sleep alone(after 31 years, I like the bed to myself..) |
